Prejean, 22, retained her title in May of 2209, despite a controversy over topless photos, missed appearances and some think it was for her statements against same sex marriage.
It all boils down to Donald Trump, who is the Miss USA pageant owner. Donald Trump decided to fire Prejean a month after he gave her a second chance.
“Carrie is a beautiful young woman, and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests,” Trump stated.
Runner-up Tami Farrell, who was Miss Malibu, will immediately assume the Miss California USA title, state pageant Executive Director Keith Lewis said.
What’s the Trump’s Reasoning?
Trump said that, “This was a decision based solely on contract violations, including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization.”
Lewis told CNN’s Larry King on Wednesday that it wasn’t one thing Prejean did, but “many, many, many things.”
“She came to us and said I’m not interested in your input; I’ll make my own decision what I’m going to do,” Lewis said. “You know, when you have a contract, when you’re working for someone you have a responsibility to follow through on what that requirement is.”
Lewis told King it was clear “she was not interesting in upholding the title or the responsibilities.”
Did the now X-Miss California get a big head or is there something else going on that we are not privy to?
“I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA organization, and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” Trump said. “Unfortunately, it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen, and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision.”
Miss California was so far out of the loop that Charles Limandri, Prejean’s lawyer, learned about the decision Wednesday morning in a phone call from Donald Trump’s office.
“This is all kind of a big shock,” Limandri said. “We’ve been working with Mr. Trump’s office. She’s been doing all the speaking engagements she’s been asked to do. It is not true that she has not been cooperating.”
“No one from the pageant organization ever warned Prejean she was not doing what they wanted,” he continued. “Something is going on. Truth is not being told. I don’t understand where this is coming from, or why.”
“For people to say that she breached her contract, that she is not doing speaking engagements is false,” he said. “She did one last Sunday in Las Vegas and it went really well.”
During a radio interview Wednesday with Billy Bush, who also was host of the pageant, Prejean said “it was that controversy that led to her losing her title, not contract issues.”
“It’s just because of my answer, I think,” Prejean told Bush. “None of this would be happening right now if I just said yeah, gays should get married, you’re right Perez Hilton.”
Wednesday night on Larry King, Bush asked the new Miss California USA the question that sparked controversy for Prejean. Bush asked Tami Farrell whether in light of several states allowing gay marriage she thought other states should do the same.
“I think it’s a personal decision and a civil rights issue,” Farrell said. “It’s something we should let each state decide.”
This ought to get some of the closet commenter’s out…to state their opinions. What do you think Baby Boomers?
